We studied 175 fiberglass production workers, using chest radiographs, measurement of total lung capacity, chest examinations, and occupational and medical histories. Pulmonary volumes and flows were calculated as percent of predicted, adjusted for height, age, ethnicity, and cigarette smoking. Thirty\u2010one men with radiographically evident small irregular opacities of profusion of 1\/0 or greater and\/or pleural abnormalities were observed. Eight of 38 men with such changes said they had been exposed only to fiberglass; the other 23 with radiologically detectable pleural and\/or pulmonary changes were among the 137 whose histories indicated that they had been exposed to asbestos and to fiberglass. Pulmonary function measurements as group means were reduced in the 175: FVC was 94.8% predicted, FEV, was 91.3% predicted, FEF<jats:sub>25\u201375<\/jats:sub> was 80.7% predicted, FEF<jats:sub>25\u201385<\/jats:sub> was 73.1% predicted and FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\/FVC was 0.73. Total lung capacity (TLC) was elevated to 114.2% predicted (mean) and RV\/TLC (mean 0.46) was also elevated. Although only 78% of fiberglass production workers gave histories of asbestos exposure, all had shared the air in a manufacturing plant where ovens insulated with asbestos were continuously cleaned, repaired, dismantled, and rebuilt. It appears that attribution of the effects of their exposure to fiberglass could not be estimated independently of the effects of asbestos exposure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700200605","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,19]],"date-time":"2007-04-19T10:47:58Z","timestamp":1176979678000},"page":"745-751","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Difficulties of attribution of effect in workers exposed to fiberglass and asbestos"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Kaye H.","family":"Kilburn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raphael H.","family":"Warshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"831","article-title":"Snowbird workshop on standardization of spirometry","volume":"119","author":"ATS Statement","year":"1979","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annhyg\/31.4B.805"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"7","article-title":"Epidemiology standardization project","volume":"118","author":"Fems BG","year":"1978","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9343(71)90183-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","volume-title":"Occupational Safety and Health Series.","author":"International Labour Office","year":"1980"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700030112"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","unstructured":"KilburnKH Powers D WarshawRH.
